Essays on Dissociation

Associations are diverse between tasks. For instance, an individual can be impaired on one task as well as on the other tasks. This aids in the supposition that it is necessary for cognitive processes to carry out the two tasks. The most important type of association is the double association. In this type, the individual may create an association in the area where they are impaired on one task but functions normally on the other. On the other hand, another individual conducts one task normally yet has impaired function on the other task. Generally, therapists and neuroscientists have recognized ...

Theodore Bundy, known as Ted, was born in 1946 and was a source of shame to his mother, who was not married when she gave birth. This was considered a scandalous affair by her parents, who were deeply religious. In order to keep their family intact Ted Bundy was adopted by his grandparents and raised to believe that his mother was his sister. Later on he moved to Tacoma with his “sister”, Eleanor Colwell, to Tacoma, Washington. There she met and eventually married Johnnie Bundy. Despite being raised in a stable, working-class home, Ted Bundy still started exhibiting several ...

Britain’s integration with the European Union has not been pleasant over the past few decades. In fact, its unwillingness to join the European Economic Community (EEC), currently known as the European Union until 1973 explains a lot about its political and economic position. For starters, Britain had the largest economy in Europe after the second world war its overall living standards were high. Additionally, there was little unemployment in the region and this situation eliminated the need to join the EEC due to its economic stability. According to Gowland and Arthur (186), the United Kingdom’s early industrialization ...

1. a. The pKa value of an amino acid is an indication of how strong or weak an amino acid is, based on the said acid’s dissociation constant. An amino acid that has a high pKa value is weaker than on that has a low pka value. Given that an acid’s dissociation constant is Ka, the pKa value is given by the formula: pKa = -log10Ka pH = pKa + log ([A-]/[HA]),It follows that for Cys12, 7.4= 7.2 + log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 7.4-7.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 0.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 100.2= Cys-/HCys Therefore, Cys-/HCys = 10-4Similarly, ...

Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiac arrhythmias often require immediate medical care that may include resuscitation (Ray, 2004). The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias can be challenging particularly in situations whereby the patient is asymptomatic and ECG findings are normal between symptomatic episodes (Cruickshank, 2008). Distinguishing between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia is also a challenge (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2008). Cardiac arrhythmia should be suspected in patients with a history of syncope, near syncope, palpitations, and/or chest pain (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will justify why monomophic ventricular tachycardia is the most likely diagnosis of a male patient who collapsed abruptly and has hypotension (BP 63/38), tachycardia ( ...

Polymers cells are the next-generation class of photovoltaic since they promise realization of light weights, mechanically flexible, larger area devices. The room temperature solution processing can be used in fabricating these devices. High-efficiency conversion power of about 10% has recently been obtained in tandem polymer cells (Huo et al., 2015). In single-junction, it’s achievable through lowering the density state to a level lower than the electron acceptor and the conduction band of the semi-conductor. Photovoltage is electromotive force obtained by a photosensitive material due to inducing radiant energy; photovoltaic relates electric current produced at a junction of two ...

Abstract

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) has long been surrounded by controversy due to disagreement about its etiology and the validity of its associated phenomena. Researchers have conducted studies comparing people diagnosed with DID and people simulating DID in order to better understand the disorder. The current research presents a systematic review of this DID simulation research. The literature consists of 20 studies and contains several replicated findings. Replicated differences between the groups include symptom presentation, identity presentation, and cognitive processing deficits. Replicated similarities between the groups include interidentity transfer of information as shown by measures of ...

Fight Club is an 1999 film based on the novel of the same title by Chuck Palahniuk published in 1996. The movie appears to be a story about an underground fighting club that the narrator and Tyler Durden have created. Apparently, there is more in the movie than what an average viewer could decipher. Fight Club is a depiction of a mental disorder known as Dissociative Personality/Identity Disorder or DID, at least in a psychological point of view. Evidently, the mental imbalance suffered by the character in the film is obvious in the plot. At the beginning of the movie the narrator can ...
